Haha, this, and because I was bored and wondering what it would be like. Let's just say that water is kind of an important factor when it comes to hookah...

How about the myth of freezing hoses, base, blah blah blah makes the smoke better.

FALSE! Cold numbs the taste buds (hence why beer is drank warm in Europe) so you taste less of the flavor. Room temp water is the best for the base of a hookah and freezing any part of the hookah is just silly in my opinion.

The theory behind this myth is A That the temperature Influences cloud density. And B some people prefer colder smoke ove rthe taste will do a video soon.

I'm from Europe and my beer isn't warm right now...IMO freezing your vase makes a huge difference and doesn't make flavors go away but everyone got their own style. Let's wait for the vid.

I am also from europe, but I am also a fan of beer. Some are meant to be served rather warm, others cold. Beer has little in common with hookah imo, accept for the fact that they are both awesome.

Can't argue with the fact that chilled things numb the taste buds. Just saying, it's science.

Yet you cant argue with the fact that some beer is meant to be served cold. Thats why its a fact.

That's because certain wines, beers, etc should be served chilled to smooth out the tastes. If you drink the same things warm, completely different taste. Plus, that's for beer, not arghile :) We'll see what the man has to say after he makes the video.

It makes sens in my mind that shisha like Tangiers would perform worse when chilled due to its sensitivity to temperature and stuff.
I would imagine putting ice in the base might have some effect on flavor vs. smoke density; and would effect each shisha differently.
If I had to take a stab at a tobacco that wouldnt be effected much, I would say Nakhla would remain mostly the same.
